IU Students are Home for Good

Meg, Doug and I spent a good part of the morning packing and cleaning Meg's dorm room.  It didn't take as long as any of us expected it to since we had brought a lot of her possessions home last Thursday.  We decided to do it in two shifts today, first packing all items that would be stored at Brett's.  We ended up filling the Pilot with that load.  I was thankful that Brett and I organized his closet last week as there was plenty of room for all that Meg wanted to leave in Bloomington.  We greatly appreciated his willingness to help out.

I stayed back on the second trip to organize the closet and cut Brett's hair.  He was thankful for that as he wasn't sure when he would get to the barber.  Doug and Meg were able to finish packing her room and clean it in about an hour.  The Pilot wasn't quite as full after the second load, but Cam and Meg would have to sit one behind the other on the way home so that Doug could put down both sets of seats in the car.  Once they got back to Brett's, we ordered Chick-Fil-A for lunch.  While we had all been busy packing, Cam stayed focused on his e-learning assignments.  I was impressed with how interactive and structured it was.  Bethany kept him engaged with school work until 3 p.m. and he enjoyed seeing his classmates via videochat.  Doug was also able to dial in on several meetings at work as well.

We left Brett's at 3 p.m.  He was planning on spending the night reading and watching Disney+.  We heard form Cal on the way home.  He had returned from Bloomington and was debating about coming home.  We decided that it would be best if he left tonight.  That would limit his exposure to others and get him out of the house before everyone else returned.  We beat him home by several hours giving us time to unload the Pilot, eat dinner and watch Law & Order.  Cal and Meg were both disappointed about the end of their school year at IU, but were glad to be home safe and sound.
